- _heimdall 3y agoI think we likely both agree that the comments and upvote/downvote system here is used differently than Twitter. For one thing, individual comments aren't algorithmically fed to us on the home page. For another, discussions here most often are just that, discussions. Assuming that my distaste for Twitter style likes/shares/comments and the culture built around it means I also dislike discussions is quite a leap.
